My chickens droop their wings occasionally as shown in the pic. Is it because it's hot here?
Chickens can get heat exhaustion, particularly cochins and other heavy breeds. I had one go flat out but she responded well to a cool water hosing making sure to get the water down to the skin and under the wings. Luckily I watched the online portion of my husband's CPR course! What works for people works for chickensNow I make sure to put icecubes in the water on really hot days ( which we're having a lot of this summer)![]()
